How We’re Different

No one has more at stake when it comes to your finances than you do. That’s one reason we believe that the most effective financial plans are created in partnership. Rather than dictating a financial strategy, we listen and learn about your needs and ambitions. We then work closely with you to develop a plan that addresses your unique financial objectives.

Whether you are a seasoned investor or just beginning to plan for your future, our professional staff will work to empower you with the knowledge, service and product solutions you need to be an equal partner in this process.

Our ultimate goal is to put you in control of your money. That’s what empowered investing is all about.

Through the years, a financial plan will be tested by adverse market conditions, unexpected life events and economic uncertainty. J.D. Kreps financial Group has the experience and fundamental approach necessary to help you overcome these challenges and foster long-term financial growth.

Gather Information
Knowing that there is no single financial strategy that meets the needs of every investor, our first step in working with clients is simply to listen. Only after gaining an intimate understanding of each investor’s unique needs, challenges and goals, will we initiate the process of constructing a sound financial plan.

Through a powerful combination of product knowledge and access to quality products, J.D. Kreps Financial Group can provide a wealth of alternatives to meet your needs.

Empowered by this knowledge, you can confidently make investment choices tailored to your financial plans.
